vqcc-gtk is a chat application written in C for the GTK+ toolkit, primarily
used in small LAN's. It is based on quickChat/Vypress Chat (TM) for Windows
(from Vypress Research) and is licensed under the GPL.
The application supports both quickChat and Vypress Chat(TM) protocols and
hopefully is compatible enough to substitute those applications when using
Linux, FreeBSD or another *NIX desktop. You need no server to run, however
it is not possible to communicate outside your LAN (or subnet).

DGD is a rewrite from scratch of the LPMud server. It runs on Windows, MacOS,
BeOS and many versions of Unix.
This is the core distribution of DGD, providing all the tools needed
to implement interactive servers, for instance MUD, IRC, WWW, etc.
A reference implementation of a kernel library is provided, which can
be further built on. Normally with DGD, there is a kernel library to
define the programming environment and a database library to define the
interaction environment.
Please report bugs to <felix@dworkin.nl>.
Sch is a pure Java implementation of SSH2. JSch allows you to connect
to an sshd server and use port forwarding, X11 forwarding, file
transfer, etc., and you can integrate its functionality into your
own Java programs. JSch is licensed under BSD style license.
- Why JSch?
Our intension in developing this stuff is to enable users of our
pure java X servers, WiredX and WeirdX, to enjoy secure X sessions.
Our efforts have mostly targeted the SSH2 protocol in relation to
X window system and X11 forwarding. Of course, we are also interested
in adding other functionality - port forward, file transfer, terminal
emulation, etc.
HotSSH is an interface to Secure Shell, for GNOME and OpenSSH. It
intends to be a better experience than simply invoking "ssh" from an
existing terminal window.
* Fast search-based interface for new connections
* Also display and search of local (Avahi) SSH servers
* Tabbed display with automatic session saving (Firefox style)
* Status bar with information like latency to server and output of
remote uptime
* Close integration with OpenSSH features like connection sharing
(near-instant new tabs)
* NetworkManager integration to easily reconnect after a network
change, great for laptops
downtimed is a program that monitors operating system downtime, uptime,
shutdowns and crashes and keeps records of those events.
downtimed(8) is a daemon process which is intended to be started
automatically from system boot scripts every time when the operating
system of a server starts. First the daemon logs its findings about the
previous downtime to a specified logging destination as well as in a
database file which can be displayed with downtimes(1). After that the
daemon just keeps waiting in the background and periodically updates
a time stamp file on the disk.
downtimes(1) is a command-line tool which can be used to inspect previous
downtime records.
HATop is an interactive ncurses client and real-time monitoring
statistics displaying tool for the HAProxy Unix socket.
HATop's appearance is similar to top. It supports various modes for
detailed statistics of all configured proxies and services in near
realtime. In addition, it features an interactive CLI for the haproxy
Unix socket. This allows administrators to control the given haproxy
instance (change server weight, put servers into maintenance mode,
etc.) directly out of hatop (using keybinds or the CLI) and monitor the
results immediately.
Tartarus provides a nice wrapper around basic Unix tools such as tar, find and
curl (well, that's not that basic) to provide a seamless backup solution,
aimed at automatic gathering and backup.
It has the ability to do full as well as incremental backups and is published
by Stefan Tomanek under the rules of the GPL.
Instead of relying on single usage backup scripts or complicated command lines,
tartarus reads its configuration from easily manageable configuration files.
It can store gathered data in regular files, or upload the backup directly (on
the fly) to an FTP server. For more specific usage scenarios, custom methods
can also be defined within the config file.
Squidview is a program that displays the squid proxy server log file in a nice
fashion, providing the log file is in squid's native reporting fashion. It has
features such as search, report generation, monitor mode and supports three log
files.
Thus, the program can be used to monitor Internet usage on a networked site.
But please note squid has to be running first and this program is not a
proactive resource controller. What it can do is tell you who and which sites
are consuming the most bandwidth.
Metisse is an experimental X desktop with neat OpenGL features. It consists
of a virtual X server called Xmetisse, a special version of FVWM, and a FVWM
module FvwmCompositor.
Metisse was designed with two goals in mind. First, it should make it easy
for HCI researchers to design and implement innovative window management
techniques. Second, it should conform to existing standards and be robust
and efficient enough to be used on a daily basis, making a suitable platform
for the evaluation of the proposed techniques.
Xscreensaver will run several programs to continuously update the
screen instead of going blank. You can specify the programs and their
arguments using resources. You can also add dpms (power saver) options.
Xscreensaver will make use of any installed OpenGL libraries, such as
Mesa (also in the ports collection).
The client-server model employed by xscreensaver make it a superior choice
to xlock, since no separate auto-locking program is needed. It's also
extremely easy to add new programs like xearth, or any other program that
can fill the root window as additional screensavers.
